Postman Collections | The Exploratory

Welcome to the exploratory. In this episode, technical community manager Kevin Corbett guides you through how to effectively use Postman Collections. Starting from the basics, you'll learn how to create, organize, save and manage your API requests. We'll also walk you through using collection templates to get a jumpstart on your project and documenting your collections for streamlined API design, development, and testing.
The journey doesn't stop there. We'll equip you with advanced knowledge on leveraging the Postman Collection Runner for automation and scheduling of your collections. Learn to set up mock servers to simulate real API server responses and how to use Postman Monitors for round-the-clock insights into your APIs' health and performance.
No API is complete without effective documentation. Learn how to publish your API documentation and share your API knowledge with the world. Lastly, we'll cover how to import and export collections, enabling smooth collaboration in your development process. Tune in and upgrade your Postman skills!
